Joiner`s Bench Gmbh

What Joiner`s Bench Gmbh does

Joiner's Bench GmbH is a German family-owned manufacturer founded in the 1990s by Luciano Sgarra in Remscheid, specializing in custom special tools and accessories for pipe processing and installation systems. The company produces a portfolio that includes pressing tools, pressing jaws and chains, pipe deburrers and calibration tools, pipe shears and cutters, bending tools, pipe installation devices, and leakage test plugs marketed under the Drilly brand. Manufacturing is performed in-house at a single Remscheid facility equipped with CNC-controlled lathes, milling machines, and wire EDM centers, supplemented by proprietary hardening and surface treatment processes, in-house 3D measuring technology, FEM calculations for product optimization, and test benches with video-documented life-cycle validation.

The company's business model combines three revenue streams: project-based custom special tool manufacturing (design, prototyping, and series production), sale of standardized tool products, and engineering and consulting services (including 3D design via PTC-CREO and CATIA). Customer-facing sales, service, and communication are handled by affiliated company Vetec GmbH under the Joiner's Bench & Vetec Group structure, with both entities operating from Remscheid addresses and sharing human and technical resources. Customers are industrial manufacturers served through an enterprise field-sales motion with dedicated project teams providing intensive consultation from concept through delivery; pricing is quote-based per customer requirement with no publicly disclosed standard pricing. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification across both entities, complies with REACH and RoHS regulations, and publishes CMRT and EMRT conflict minerals documentation for regulated supply-chain customers.
